Jay Leno's Green Supercar

I don't think bio-diesel automatically equals eco-friendly or "green", but it's still interesting.

Late-night talk show host and avid car enthusiast Jay Leno and GM Vice President of Global Design Ed Welburn introduced the EcoJet concept at Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show in Las Vegas. With the help of General Motors Advanced Design Studio, Leno's idea for an eco-friendly high-performance supercar became a reality for the SEMA show.
As the exotic mid-engine sports car called the EcoJet was unveiled, Leno explained he wanted to show that environmentally friendly vehicles do not have to be boring to drive. The EcoJet does run on biodiesel fuel, although admittedly it doesn't get very good fuel economy being powered by a 650-horsepower Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine that would more commonly be found in a helicopter. But the fuel coming from Seattle Biodiesel is produced from renewable resources.
